The resistors are definitely not needed. I used capacitors in my recent project in order
to eliminate switching noise which might appear in my receiver -- I don't know if this was
needed, since I didn't try it without the capacitors first!
They should also provide some protection against transients, although I also have MOVs in
the primary.

I have just rejoined the amp list after a few years and am wondering if the

no longer
needed due to improvements in semiconductor manf. processes. I have 100
1N5408's that
came off the same reel so I feel they should be matched fairly close. I would

hear a few opinions. Thanks 73 Hardy N7RT
